You might remember the pain and trauma of this Budget Direct advertisement - it featured the worst French accent in the history of the universe;
Well just when you thought it was safe to watch commercial television (and for the record, as long as there is a pending Aus. Idol series it is NEVER safe) - Budget Direct come out with another ad featuring the same bad actor with the same bad accent. In the new one she pronounces "Google" as goo-gally ... I know, hold on to your ribs people.
I don't know why these ads bother me so much - especially considering there are SO MANY bad ads out there. The fake accent is just too much, surely there is ONE actor in Australia that actually has - or can fake - a convincing French accent.
Seemingly not within the advertising Budget.

Budget restrictions maybe. More likely that she has the right look (i.e. is gorgeous!) so that's far more important than getting a mere accent right.
